The kākāpō is the only flightless species of which type of bird?

Kia ora kākāpō! There are many manu species in Hawai'i that are also endangered. Your cousins here wish you the fondest Aloha!

They nest on the ground where unfortunately introduced species like the stoat, cats and dogs also, kill them and eat the eggs and/or young.

how in the world have I never heard of a nocturnal flightless parrot?

Nice to pet parrot coz it can talk

Kiwozzie, There's also Rats & Rabbits (3 rabbits can eat as much grass in a day as one sheep !)

Now I have to go see what it looks like. I love this game.

BigDaphne , I had a feeling that they were from the land down under in Australia or new Zealand it seems that those 2 countries have some weird and strange beautiful creatures that inhabit the islands including most of the world's most poisonous creatures

I have raised many parrots and the all talked the best of which was the African grey 🩶

you learn something new every day. I'm now goggling picture of it

My 2 favourite species of parrots are Scarlet Macaw and Hyacinth Macaw since the Parrot 🦜 is one of my favourite birds.

I hope this amazing species survives and grows.

One of God's truly unique and magnificent animals. An enormous, heavy, and flightless parrot. On of the many unique animal treasures of New Zealand

BigDaphne , lol I learned of it in a previous question

Akamai 👑 Haulana, thank you, and still praying for Hawaii
